"Dad' Smith, an old miner about 80
or 90 years OF age. died Of pncumoHia at
Richards lodging house yesterday morn
ing. The deceased had been a realdent
Of Stockton Hill for two years and Was
employed in the Cupel mine till the first
of the present month, since when he h1d

As an illustration Of the exorbitant
freight rates charged by the Atlantic &
Pacific We note the following: A piece OF
printing machinery was shipped 10 the
MINER last week from San Francisco
weight 14o pounds. The Southern Pacific
charged 80 cents for Transporting it to
MoIsye station, while the Atlantic &
Pacific charged $3.50 for bringing it from
Mohaye to Kingmsn. about the same dis
tance. Why the.two roads cannot afford
TO haul at the same rate is one OF those
things tilst no fellow can find out.
The Atlantic & Pacific and California
Southern railroad companies have offered
to give round trip tickets for single fare
